One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Camp Hill who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
