Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - East Jewett, NY.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in East Jewett who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
