One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Hickory Grove battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
