One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Kempton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
