One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Muncy Valley who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 /month.
