One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Palmyra who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
