One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Wiggins who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
