One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Marion who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
