One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Rockwell City battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
