One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Millersburg who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
