One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Waynesburg who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
