One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Lake City battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
