Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Warwick, MA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Warwick who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
