Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Ludlow, VT.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Ludlow who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
