One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Belden who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
