One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Jamestown struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
