One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Leesville struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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.
