One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Winfield battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
