One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Great Valley struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
