Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Jane Lew, WV.

One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Jane Lew who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
