Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Westover, MD.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Westover who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
