One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Des Arc who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
