One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Coral who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
