One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Palmyra who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. 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 is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
