Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Shady Grove, PA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Shady Grove who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
