One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Groveton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
