One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Tioga battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
