One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Circleville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
