Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Widnoon, PA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Widnoon who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around 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 given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate 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 a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
