One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Thorntown battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
