Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Brick, NJ.

One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Brick who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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.
