One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Genola battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
