One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Freeburg who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
