One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Maysville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid 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 in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
