Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Pinch, WV.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Pinch struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
