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

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Warren struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
