One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Reading who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice 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 monthly.
