One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Wellsburg struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
