Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - West Hyattsville, MD.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in West Hyattsville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as 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 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
