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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Peckville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
