Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Rheems, PA.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Rheems struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the client doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 is also taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
