Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Morris Run, PA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Morris Run who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
