One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Shelbyville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
