One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Sabinsville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
