One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Rushville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
