Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Kew Gardens, NY.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Kew Gardens struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily 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 drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
