Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Irvington, NJ.

One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Irvington battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, 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 administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /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 opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
