One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Scottsville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
