One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Baileyton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get 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 drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
