One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Paynes Creek struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med 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 medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
