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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Mattawana struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
