One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Cynthiana battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
