One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Cortlandt Manor who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
