One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Munday struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
