One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in West Kill battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
