Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Plymouth Meeting, PA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Plymouth Meeting who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
