One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Eagleville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
