One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Smyrna struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
