One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Ellsworth who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
