Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Rainbow Lake, NY.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Rainbow Lake who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 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 dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
