Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Reinholds, PA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Reinholds who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
