One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Waverly battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
