One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Pleasant View who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 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 dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned 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 being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
