One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Lake Lillian battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug 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 that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
