One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Coffee Creek who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
