One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Amelia struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
