One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Desloge battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, 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 costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
