One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Cazenovia battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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.
