One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Branson who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
