Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Littleton, NH.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Littleton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
