One of the out-patient rehab options for people in New Paltz who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
