Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Willards, MD.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Willards struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $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 someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
