One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Barnardsville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling 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.
