One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Mount Olive battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which 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 one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, 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 about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
