One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Warrenton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder 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 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
