Does Medicaid (NY State) provide coverage for office based opioid therapy using Buprenex or Suboxone/Subutex?
asked:
Due to the epidemic like use of opiate anelgesics (pain killers) such as hydrocodone or oxycodone this treatment is badly needed. What is Medicaid’s position for those who have no insurance. Does this vary from state to state, county to county? Can this be handled with some dignity, other than going to a methadone clinic, or hospital setting where the cost is astronomical?
This is not only a mental health issue, but is ruining the lives of many people in the US and worldwide. Pain medication has become the latest and most pervasive way of becoming addicted to opiates.
