One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Wynantskill battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken 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, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
