One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Mountain Home struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't 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 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.
