One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Amboy who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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.
