One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Winnfield who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
