One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Fort Johnson battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
