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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Menemsha battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
