Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Teays, WV.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Teays battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. 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 feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
