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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Warren who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
