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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Sandy Lake who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
