Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Clayton, NY.

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Clayton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
