Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Blooming Grove, NY.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Blooming Grove struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /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. A person has the choice 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
