One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in West Blocton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the client doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 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 can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 a month.
