One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Dunlap who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
