One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Raymond who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as 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 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
