Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Canton, NY.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Canton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price 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 can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
