One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Waveland who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
