One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Robinsonville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses however, the client does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used 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, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
