One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Mohawk battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking 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 costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
