Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Seabrook, NJ.

One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Seabrook who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.

Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified 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 opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
