One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Unionville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
