Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - North Haven, CT.

One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in North Haven struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, 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 is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
