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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Nottingham battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug 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 is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
