One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Oblong who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and 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 choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
