One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Monticello who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains 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 costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
