One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Blue Ash who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that 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.
