Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Rock Hall, MD.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Rock Hall struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
