Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Maysville, WV.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Maysville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
