One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Branchville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 per month.
