One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Mendon who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
