One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Campbellton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA 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 around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate 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, it prevents a person 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.
