One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Lagrangeville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
