One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Silerton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
