One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Foreston who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
