One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Finley who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
