One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Rincon who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
