One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Edelstein who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
