One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Middle Village struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
