One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Leland Grove who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 /month.
