One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Groveton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost 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 can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
