One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Foley who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $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 that blocks the effects of opioids. 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 is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
