Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Mahanoy City, PA.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Mahanoy City who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
