Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Leivasy, WV.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Leivasy struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid 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 an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
