Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Squire, WV.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Squire who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
