One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Huntsville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
