One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Orangeville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given 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 just under $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
