One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Armonk who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 too is taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
