Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Galena, MD.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Galena battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately 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 unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
