One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Lake Winola who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client does not feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 per month.
