One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Terra Ceia struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
