One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Greenwald who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense 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 opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, 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 costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's 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, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
