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

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Glover battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
