Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Markleysburg, PA.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Markleysburg who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
