Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Nanty Glo, PA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Nanty Glo who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking 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 is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
