Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Wyckoff, NJ.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Wyckoff who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the client doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling 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.
