One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in South Casco struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
