One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Watkins who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
