One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Center Conway struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid 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, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
