One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Landrum struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
