One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Taylorsville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly 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 taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
