Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Holyoke, MA.

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Holyoke who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
