One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Fowlerton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
