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

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Washington Grove battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
