Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Masontown, PA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Masontown who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
