One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Ivel who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the client does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not 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 an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
