One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Paxton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking 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 med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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.
