One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Sidnaw who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently 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 about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here 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, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
