Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Rockfall, CT.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Rockfall who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
