One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Avon who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
