Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - New York Mills, NY.

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in New York Mills who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is 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 type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual 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 per month.
