One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Comstock Park battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
