One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Carlsborg who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
