One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Dorrance battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
