Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Foster, WV.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Foster who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
