Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Mount Pocono, PA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Mount Pocono battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
