Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Catonsville, MD.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Catonsville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
