Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Colrain, MA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Colrain who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid 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 med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
