One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Greenbush who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
