One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Sedgewickville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
