One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Newkirk who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is 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, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
