One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Clarence who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
