One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Oakdale who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. 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 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
