One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Lavale struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
