Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Meadville, PA.

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Meadville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the user does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate 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, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
