One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Glenburn battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
