Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Bridgeport, WV.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Bridgeport who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
