One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Harrison Valley struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
