One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Unionville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which 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 too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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.
