One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Constantia battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly 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. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken 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 feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
