Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Pomona, NJ.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Pomona who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. 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 different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
