One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Mooresville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate 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, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
