One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Greenfield who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken 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 injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
