One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Brookeville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
