One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Isonville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate 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 experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
