One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Pickerington who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
