Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Swain, NY.

One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Swain struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate 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, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
