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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Mechanicsville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
