One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Freeport who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis 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 a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
