Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Dickerson, MD.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Dickerson battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
