One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Vinton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
