One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Rockaway Park battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. 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 more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
