One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Windsor Mill who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
