One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Clarkson who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
