Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Orma, WV.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Orma who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
