Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Canaan, NH.

One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Canaan who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
