One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Greenville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
