One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Meadow Grove who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's 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 an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
