One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Orkney Springs struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not 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 someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
