One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Crawford who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
