One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Harrisville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
