One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Waterport struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
