One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Greensboro struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
