One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Timbo who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
