One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Elkland who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
