One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Pleasant Valley who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is 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, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
