Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Harrisville, NY.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Harrisville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per 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 structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
