One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Plantersville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed 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 type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
