One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Hendley struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
