Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Monocacy Station, PA.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Monocacy Station battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient 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 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
