One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Eagleville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, 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 daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
