Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Dunlow, WV.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Dunlow battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly 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 opioids. Someone 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 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
