One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Bois D Arc battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
