One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in White Mills who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
