Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Durbin, WV.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Durbin who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
