One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Myrtlewood who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month 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 opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, 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 costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
