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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Malone battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
