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

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Volga who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate 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 price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
