One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Hooppole struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
