One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Juniata who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
