One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Castleton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about 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 different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
