One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Anna battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
