One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Mcconnelsville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, 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 daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't 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 an individual 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.
