One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Blanchard who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
