One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Fort Supply who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
