One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Gowrie battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
