One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in West Frankfort who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $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 is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, 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 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
