One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Galion struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
