Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Quincy, PA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Quincy who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
