One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Demotte who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate 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 cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, 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 around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
