One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Hughsonville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
