Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Wallpack Center, NJ.

One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Wallpack Center battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
