One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in St. Gabriel who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
