One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Tipton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA 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 about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
