Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Bretz, WV.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Bretz who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
