One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Tennille who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
