One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Bertrand who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, 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 of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
