One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Monticello struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
