Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Clarksville, NY.

One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Clarksville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
