One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in White Haven battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
