One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Laurel who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
