Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Richmond Hill, NY.

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Richmond Hill who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, 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 around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
