One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Greeley who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
