One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Scooba who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
