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

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Quentin who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
