One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Joseph City who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
