One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Glen Head battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high and 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 options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
