Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Easton, MD.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Easton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
