One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Hornbrook who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
