One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Colquitt struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
