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

One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Preston Hollow who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have 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 can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can 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 approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice 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 in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
