One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Owensville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is 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, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
