One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Evangeline battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the user does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid 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, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
