One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Cooter who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the user does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
