One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Westport Point struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
