Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Rochelle Park, NJ.

One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Rochelle Park who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
