One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Mulberry battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
