One of the outpatient rehab options for people in West Olive who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
