One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Pocono Manor battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
