Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Cavendish, VT.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Cavendish who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
