Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Landisville, PA.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Landisville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
