One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Union Mills who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 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 that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
