One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Bettsville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
