One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Coal Center struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient 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 harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
