One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Roseglen battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
