One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Walton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel 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 another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
