Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Mendon, NY.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Mendon battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars 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 which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
