One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Gregory who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not 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 getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
