One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Gallatin who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the user does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
