Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Fieldale, VA.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Fieldale struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around 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 that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
