One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Tallapoosa battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. 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 well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
