One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Whitman who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, 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 is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 per month.
