One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Curtis struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
