One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Baldwyn who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual does not feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
