One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Eunice who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the client does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
