One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Boiling Springs who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, 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 opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
