One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Arverne who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the user does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
