One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Gainestown struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
