One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Aberdeen who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
