Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Blue Hill, ME.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Blue Hill who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
