Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Rome, NY.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Rome who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication 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, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
