One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Talmo who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get 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 taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
