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

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Mc Ewensville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client does not experience being high but 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 a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
