One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Presto who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
