Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Allston, MA.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Allston who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose 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 cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
