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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Pursglove battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
