One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Crestline struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 a month.
