One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Bowmanstown struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
