One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in East Lynn who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't 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 an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
