One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Bethany who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
