Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - West Haven, CT.

One of the outpatient rehab options for people in West Haven who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel 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 an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate 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, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
