One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Midville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
