One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Grafton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
