One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Corryton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
