Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Vermontville, NY.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Vermontville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses the user does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
