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

One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Taberg struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose 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 in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
