One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Huntingdon struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
