One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Pickerel who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
