One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Plaucheville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
