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

One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Old Chatham battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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.
