One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Branchport who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, 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 is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication 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 medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
