One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Plumtree battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
