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

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Monongahela who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, 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 drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
