Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Irvona, PA.

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Irvona who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
