One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Joffre who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking 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 on a daily basis, 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 is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
