One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Franklin who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual 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.
