One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Kellyville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
