One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Royalton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
