One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Summerfield struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses the individual does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
