One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Harrison struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
