One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Leroy battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
