One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Tuxedo Park struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
