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

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Shannock who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's 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 getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
