One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Goldsboro who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the user does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
