Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Cicero, NY.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Cicero battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
