One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Passadumkeag battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual 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 too is taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
