One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Rapidan struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
