One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Seale who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. 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 too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
