One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Nuevo who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
