Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Ridgeley, WV.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Ridgeley battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
