One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Thomson who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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.
