Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Hollywood, MD.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Hollywood who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that 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 in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
