One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Wadsworth who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. 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 costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
