One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Tuckerman who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also 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 opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
