One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Lismore who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per 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 injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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 /month.
