One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Hooversville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
