One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Mooresville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
