One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Yazoo City battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose 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 daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike 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 $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
