One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Sumner 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 addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's 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, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
