One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Kirkville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. 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 given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 per month.
