Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Kingston, PA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Kingston struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is 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, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
