Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Boston, MA.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Boston struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 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 is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains 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 harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid 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 experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
