One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Twin Rocks who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
