One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Rosendale who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
