One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Towanda who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med 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 drug as a monthly shot, which 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
