One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Beachwood struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
