One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Victor who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, 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 approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
