One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Williams who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
