Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Hopwood, PA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Hopwood struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
