One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Amboy who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is 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, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
