One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Buck Hill Falls battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, 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 dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
