One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Ellicottville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the user does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, 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 prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month 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 opioids. 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 too is taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
