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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Columbia battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used 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 drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
