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

One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Troy who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer 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 opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate 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, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
