One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in York struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
