One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Sandyville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned 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 someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
