One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Jeffersonville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
