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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Lyndora battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
