One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Archer who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, 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 certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA 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 taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
