One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in North Troy who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. 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 dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
