One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Hamilton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
