One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Franklin struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
