One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Meredosia who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the user does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
