One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Cragsmoor who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, 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 dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
