One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in East Machias battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. 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 structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
