One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in South Ozone Park struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
