Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Jamaica Plain, MA.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Jamaica Plain who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid 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 a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
