One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Kinston who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option 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 in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
