Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Jefferson, MD.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Jefferson battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.

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