One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Fostoria battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars 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 dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
