One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Carthage who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
