One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Lynnville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
