Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Cuttingsville, VT.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Cuttingsville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid 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 a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
