One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Newton Hamilton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 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 which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
