One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Lynco who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
