One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Center Lovell who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses the individual does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug 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 daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken 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 shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
