Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Oceana, WV.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Oceana battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. 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 opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
