One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Rosendale struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $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 which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
