Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mahaffey, PA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Mahaffey battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses the client does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, 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 costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
