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

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Wendel battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate 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, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
