One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Readstown who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
