Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Shrub Oak, NY.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Shrub Oak battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
