One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Carpenter who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
