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

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Verner struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
