One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Rockbridge struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
