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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in White who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
