One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Bellmore who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
