One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in West University Place struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual 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 every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
