One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Moulton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
