One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Taneytown struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the user does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
