One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Simpsonville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, 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 version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
