One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Valley Grande struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is 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, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
