One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Union Grove who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a 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 opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder 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 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
