One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Bar Mills battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses the client does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate 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 an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
