Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Mac Arthur, WV.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Mac Arthur who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
