One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Ambrose who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not 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 a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
