One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Dayton who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, 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 medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
