Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Lucernemines, PA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Lucernemines who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
