One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Three Rivers struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid 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, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
