One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Clarks Hill who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the client does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being 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.
