One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Rutledge who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
