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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Swanton struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
