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

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Phillipsburg struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
