One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Sellers who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the client does not feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
