One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Mifflintown struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which 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 opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
