One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Tioga who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 /month.
