One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Yatesboro battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being 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.
