Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Slovan, PA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Slovan who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
