One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Carterville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, 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 costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate 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 a person 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 /month.
