Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Indian Head, PA.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Indian Head battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 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 that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
