One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Rillton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $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 structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
