One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Franconia who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
