One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Wilmore who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
