One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Millbrook battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here 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 an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
