Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Palm, PA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Palm who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the client does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
