Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Waccabuc, NY.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Waccabuc who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
