Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Troy, VT.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Troy battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
