One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Beverly Shores struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual 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 costs about $450 /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 opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
