One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Hartville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
