One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Prince who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel 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 alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about 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 that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
