One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Leland who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. 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 being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
