One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Chambersburg who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
