One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Mount Morris battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is 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, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
