Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Bethpage, NY.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Bethpage who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $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 administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
