One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Arcola struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, 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 is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't 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 an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
