One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Hazlehurst battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
