One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Hagarstown who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned 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, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
