Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Naples, NY.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Naples who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
