One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Absaraka struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost 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 given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
