One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Oak Hill who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid 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, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
