One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Bunkie who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
