One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Mc Cracken battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses the user does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid 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, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
