One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Glasco who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
