One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Cumberland who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
