One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Mohnton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
