One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Lacygne struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $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 that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as 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 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
