One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Cumby who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
