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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Coventry who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications 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, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
