Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Wakefield, RI.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Wakefield battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
