One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Bryant who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
