One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Paoli who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
