Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Silver Spring, MD.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Silver Spring who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which 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 a month.
