One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Ellsworth who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
