One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Vandiver struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
