One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in East Stroudsburg who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
