One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Ruthton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses 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 too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
