Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Adamsville, RI.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Adamsville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
