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

One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in West Edmeston battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
