Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Midway, WV.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Midway struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
