One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Bentonville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
