One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Pattersonville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
