One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Iuka who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 monthly.
