One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Gallagher who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily 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 every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid 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 a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
