Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Landingville, PA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Landingville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
