One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Windcrest battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated 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 med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
