Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Mc Donough, NY.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Mc Donough who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
