One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Sale City who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
