One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Onaga who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the client does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
