Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Brockton, MA.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Brockton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid 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 cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate 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, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
