One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Avon struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
