Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Accoville, WV.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Accoville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
