One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Burnham who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned 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 a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
