Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Clay, WV.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Clay battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
