One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Bryantville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate 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, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
