One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Mozelle who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
