One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Clinton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 monthly.
