One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Sargentville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. 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 feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
