One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Falls Village who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
