One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Killington struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
