One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Lake Odessa battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
