One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Kinderhook struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
