One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Harrison who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
