One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Bluff Springs who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the user does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid 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 under $200 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 given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
