One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Marshall who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
