Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Sayville, NY.

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Sayville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost 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 unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 per month.
