Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Cambridgeport, VT.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Cambridgeport who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
