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

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Westfield battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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.
