One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Stow battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per 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 dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 per month.
