One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Higbee who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
