One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Connersville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
