Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Lewis, NY.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Lewis struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
