One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in East Hope who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
