Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Mount Union, PA.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Mount Union battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
