One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Neilton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
