One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in South Otselic struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate 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 a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
