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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Dryfork struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, 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 opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $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 that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
