One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Hampton Bays who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
