One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Pocahontas who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
