One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Wilmore battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used 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 drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
