One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Mannington who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
