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

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Slingerlands battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
