One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Glenville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
