One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Montoursville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the client does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per 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 is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's 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, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
