One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Crockett battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient 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 opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
