One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Town Creek who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
