One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Osyka who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. 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. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
