One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Ware Shoals who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
