One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Jackson Heights who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
