One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Arkville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $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 given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
