One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Keswick struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
