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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Lancaster who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med 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, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA 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 is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
