One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Ariton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
