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

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in West Barnstable who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is 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 habit forming. In low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
