One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Pulaski battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. 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 too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
