One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Bell Buckle struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
