One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Sellersville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
