One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Accomac who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
