One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Port Byron struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 per month.
