Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Pottersdale, PA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Pottersdale who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking 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 too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's 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, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
