Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Southampton, MA.

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Southampton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
