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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Mount Nebo who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
