One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Breedsville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified 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 one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
