One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Oneida who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate 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, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
