One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Anderson battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
