One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Mansfield battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
