One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in East Lynn struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
