Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Owings Mills, MD.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Owings Mills battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual 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 /month.
