One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Fittstown struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
