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

One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Elmira battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
