One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in La Rose struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 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 dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
