One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Carlisle battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
