Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Kinzers, PA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Kinzers struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
