One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Cooperstown who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
