One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Dry Prong struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
