Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Deep Water, WV.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Deep Water struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
