One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Rockville Centre struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that 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 every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
