One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Newland who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, 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 version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
