One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Hickory Flat struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. 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 highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
