One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Centerville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
