One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Mooers Forks battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which 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 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. 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 too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
