One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Chase City who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
