One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Henrietta battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
