Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Templeville, MD.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Templeville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
