One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Himrod battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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.
