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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Lesage who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used 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, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
