One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Troy struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, 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 every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 per month.
