One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Ray Brook who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. 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 experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
