Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Rochdale, MA.

One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Rochdale struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
